Wave your mouse to make them jump. Change the number of jumping notes with the slider. See what happens when you press 'r'. Feel free to remix! What else could be jumping?
I shared a slightly different version on my test account! I was thinking about it and thought it would be interesting if the jumping things were music notes that hit the notes at their peak. I find this really mesmerizing to play with with big number of notes. Update: Just added chord changes after being inspired by @jsh's project Drops. ===Notes from the original=== I wanted to make something for the Getting Unstuck prompt about jumping (but ultimately also incorporated music and randomness). I didn't know exactly what I wanted it to be like, but I thought it would be fun to have lots of interactive things jumping. So I started with some clones and went from there. While making this, I experimented with different ways to make a smooth jumping effect. At first, I was doing it the "math" way, with a parabolic equation. But I found that confusing in terms of getting the effect that I wanted, and I knew that the code would be big and hard to look at! So I switched to the "physics" way, by having a y velocity that I constantly changed with gravity, and repeatedly changing the y position. Of course, either would work (and they're very related) but the "physics" version felt more like I was using the affordances of Scratch and was easier for me to think about, so I stuck with that. I also added "play note" sounds. I experimented with different scales, using lists, and ultimately landed on Bb blues.
